Self-proclaimed nerd Henry Cavill has made his dreams a reality with the upcoming adaptation of popular RPG Warhammer 40k, so much so he is calling the show the “greatest privilege of his career.”
In an interview withJosh Horowitz, Cavill touched on the Prime Video project, which he will both produce and star in. “It is the greatest privilege of my professional career to have this opportunity,” said theArgyllestar of Warhammer 40,000, “I can’t say too much, again it’s early days still, but to have this opportunity to bring it to the screen and be at the tiller so it can be faithful, is key to me.”
Later in the interview, Cavill delved into what the project means to him personally as a lifelong fan of the game. “This is the stuff I’ve been dealing with since I was a kid. This is the stuff I spend my free time daydreaming about, as an adult as well”, said Cavill, “And I get to bring it into life. And there is no greater reason that I joined the industry than doing something like this, and I’m very happy to be here.” Sounds like a dream come true!
